Variability of basic parameters like transconductances, time-constants and gains due to process, voltage and temperature variations, can have first-order effect in the performance and manufacturability of most analog circuits. This tutorial focuses on negative feedback circuits that can be implemented on-chip to combat these variations. A discussion of pros and cons of various circuits that tune time-constants (for continuous-time filters), gm's of transistors, quality-factors of resonators etc. will be discussed.
